To me race is the characterized word used from the color of skin, but needless to say that is not what means is. Race true definition is divided between species. The Haman Race and Animal Race. I always see myself correcting people when they scream out racism to a color of skin and trying to explain to them that racism is the hatred between the human or animal. I think a lot of people get the word race confused with prejudtice. Race first started out by breeding of different animals to make a human race in scientific eyes. Ethnicity to me is the background, the foundation or the structure you come from. Ethnicity falls in the categorize part of the color of skin. Basically on a job application, government documents or government tests ask you for your ethic background. Meaning if you are black you pick African American, if you are white you pick Caucasian. Ethnicity can also mean the different types of food you eat as well. Mexican, Asian, French, American are all different type of Ethic countries. This is just my opinion about the two but it very well mistaken because the uneducated people of different countries don’t want to really know the truth. In the United State society I think as I have stated above that they have race and ethnicity backwards. A lot of people think Race is a color and not a species and then Ethnicity they don’t even know the words exist. Some American’s need to be educated before they speak of words that they do not know the meaning of.

...Misunderstanding Racial Identity
The wrong interpretation of race has caused racism and prejudice problems, which have been passed from generation to generation. In America, where there is a large diversity, more people are guilty of “categorizing” others by using race and stereotypes. The incorrect “sorting” of individuals has become more evident on T.V, daily life, and current political and public views. In this text, I will explore some of the ways in which...

...Discrimination in my opinion does exist in the criminal justice system, especially when it comes to minorities. There are people who argue that discrimination don’t exist there is only disparity. Discrimination is when a person is judged by their race without reference to their behavior or qualifications. Disparity is when something is inequality or a difference. Being a minority my peers and I have encountered some discriminatory actions from Americans. Rather they believe it...

...individuals of the same race. Also, racial groups are defined by their physical differences and ethnic groups are defined by their cultures. Using these definitions there is clearly a distinction between the two terms. Why this distinction exists is probably so that society can categorize the individuals they are discussing. What is important is that racial groups are inherently who a person is so although it may be hidden or changed at times based on the individual, a...

The Bible states, "Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed." Also in the bible under Ephesians 5:28,33 it states...

“Race”
James Baldwin once said, “I am what time, circumstance, history, have made of me, certainly, but I am also so much more than that. So are we all.” When the subject of race comes up, I feel like that quote is very meaningful. According to class lecture, race is an arbitrary social classification of clearly bounded categories based on skin color which corresponds to no biological reality. To be able to understand race today,...
